  • Nottingham Heritage Strategy
    Nottingham Heritage Strategy A future heritage for the city Nottingham’s Heritage strategy is a partnership document, produced by Nottingham City Council in consultation with stakeholders across the city. Foreword Nottingham has a distinct sense of ‘place’. It’s somewhere different, somewhere special and, for those who live in the city, somewhere local. The diversity of the city’s heritage is its strength, and its history of growth, adaptation and development has helped establish a cultural destination and an economic centre where people can invest with confidence. Nottingham has a track record of successful heritage-led regeneration, attracting substantial inward investment and channelling it into the city’s open spaces, historic buildings and local communities. The latest and most ambitious project will transform Nottingham Castle, celebrating over 1000 years of history, exploring the city’s well-earned reputation as a place of protest and rebellion and showcasing its prestigious heritage and art collections. Over the next fifteen years Nottingham and its heritage will face We urge all partners to unite behind this common strategy, a number of challenges. The Nottingham Plan sets the direction working together to ensure the city can continue to celebrate and to transform the city into a safer, greener, healthier and more capitalise on its rich heritage to help grow and develop the city prosperous place. Our heritage has a central role to play in for the benefit of many generations to come. delivering these aspirations, helping to raise the standard of living and promote the city as an international cultural destination and place to do business.

  • Bulletin February 2017
    One Nottingham Bulletin February 2017 MESSAGE FROM THE JANUARY BOARD The first One Nottingham Board meeting of 2017 was lively and full. Jane Todd welcomed two new members to the meeting – Professor Karen Cox from the University of Nottingham and Dawnay Robinson, the new Youth Council Representative. The meeting also thanked the retiring Chief Constable, Sue Fish, for her time on the One Nottingham Board. The meeting wished her well for the future after her career in the Nottingham Police Force. Board Member, Dr Hugh Porter and City of Football Director, Amanda Chambers, informed the Board on the progress on the physical activity targets in the Nottingham Plan and the radical ways in which City of Football has encouraged people, of different ages and abilities, to just kick a football. The ON Board agreed to back a bid to Sport England from Nottingham for the Local Pilot. The bid will address the fact that too many Nottingham people are inactive and life expec- tancy is too short in many parts of the city. Our aim is to increase the number of people who take part in sport and activity, for the wider benefits it can bring, in terms of physical and mental wellbeing, for individual, community and economic development. The Board agreed that culture change will be the only way to do this. The presentation is available on the One Nottingham Dawnay Robinson, Website and details of the bid will be made available as it develops. Youth Council Representative Nottingham Black Intergenerational Group attended the meeting and led a discussion on the is- sues impacting on the life and social prospects of black people in Nottingham.

  • What We Do Best Articles for the Nottinghamshire Historian
    Working together: what we do best Volume 2, Issue 15, November 2016 Articles for The Nottinghamshire Historian The Nottinghamshire Historian is published by Nottinghamshire Local History Association twice each year and distributed to our members free of charge. It is also available to purchase and can be found in libraries and heritage sites. We try to feature articles that are interesting rather than academic and that focus on an aspect of Nottinghamshire local history which may be about families, communities, personalities, buildings, battles, wars, transport, biographies, engineers, inventors, local characters, book reviews, pubs, churches……. In fact a whole range of topics. Have a look at our website for recent publications to get an idea of the writing style. We are always looking for material to publish from budding or established authors and while we welcome proposals on any local history subject, and the possibilities are endless, please send us an outline proposing a length (in words) before submitting any completed articles. David Starkey, Niall Ferguson and Simon Schama all had to start somewhere. Dickens began by writing for the London periodical Monthly Magazine. If you want to write for The Nottinghamshire Historian why not try submitting a short piece first? We always want good short items, even better if you have illustrations to go with them. If you have a story to tell or some research to reveal then we need to know about it, our readers need to see it, you need to get it published. Material can be sent at any time to

  • NEWSLETTER No 11 October 2019 a PLAQUE on BOTH YOUR HOUSES
    NEWSLETTER no 11 October 2019 Dear Member A PLAQUE ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES (and a few other places too) Last summer kept us busy with plaques: a total of five in all, showing the wide range of organisations and topics with which the Civic Society is involved. We started with a commemoration of Nottingham author, teacher and Booker Prize winner Stanley Middleton. This was unveiled at his former home in Caledon Road by his daughter, Penny Lymn Rose. 1 The other house was in fact a whole estate of them. Stockhill, near Basford Hall College, was begun in October 1919, the first fruit of Lloyd George’s campaign for “Homes fit for Heroes to live in.” This anniversary, commemorating the fact that Nottingham was leading the whole country in the provision of social housing, was kept with festivities on the park opposite. The importance of the original occasion in 1919 was such that there is a foundation stone on the house in question. Above it stands the plaque, which was unveiled by Alex Norris MP. These plaques were of course erected on private houses. But we didn’t forget public houses. And being all things to all men, having put up a plaque to Notts County, it was only right to recall Nottingham Forest. Conveniently this coincided with the relaunch of the pub on which it was to be attached. Known at various times as the Clinton Arms and the Orange Tree, it is now called The Playwright. It was where in 1865 Nottingham Forest was founded. Hilary discoursing learnedly about football, after which the Club’s historian deftly unveiled the plaque.
